Mazzei 'Philip' Rosso Toscana IGT 2015 Review

If you like the big boldness of a Cab from California, but need to tone it down a bit, this is a great alternative. This Italian Cabernet Sauvignon has soft power. The deep, intense fruit notes you love are all there, but the acidity is a bit higher so the wine lifts on the palate. Substitute this bottle for you norm with your favorite steak and it will become your new go-to.
